cyberbullying research center   "Whenever I speak my mind on the internet I am bullied for it. I have many hobbies that I like to share and I am put down for them. It makes me want to throw those hobbies away because it has been happening ever since I started posting my work on the internet. I get bullied for the way I look and for what I like to do. Just because I am not as good as some people out there at my hobby doesn't mean you have to bug me about it until I give up." (22 year-old girl from Canada)

What They're Saying...
"I appreciate you taking the time to present to us at the Safe School Institute. The information you brought was extremely eye opening. I have known about cyberbullying; however, I did not realize the extent to which this is happening. As an administrator it is important to understand what is going on with our students. You gave me a better understanding so that I am better prepared as this new year begins." Sherri Graham, Assistant Principal, Loggers' Run Middle School
